Did they go free? No Or did something worse happen to them? Yes Like death? Yes Did they go into hiding?No Escape to another country? No Or were they deported? No Did the police stop looking for them? YesDid they break the law that kept them out of prison, after they broke the first law? No Relevant what they did to risk ending up in prison? Yes Did the second crime absolve them from the first one? NoRelevant where this happened? Not really, in general terms When? Anytime in, say, the last five decades would do Laws unique to a particular country relevant? No Laws of more than one country relevant? And so, yes

Did they kill themselves? Intentionally? by accident? Or were they killed by someone else? Intentionally? Executed? Terrorism relevant? War? Traffic accident? Were they just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Bank robbery relevant? Did they die by: weapon? firearm? Explosion? Fall? Impact? Drowning? Fire? Suffocation? Poison? Injury to a specific body part?

Did they kill themselves? Yes Intentionally? No by accident? Yes Or were they killed by someone else? No Intentionally? No Executed? No Terrorism relevant? No War? No Traffic accident? No Were they just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Yesish, you can define it as this Bank robbery relevant? NoDid they die by: weapon? firearm? Explosion? Fall? Likely Impact? Sort of (DOYD of impact) Drowning? Fire? Suffocation? Poison? Injury to a specific body part?

Were they fleeing at the moment? No On foot? Did they fall down an incline? No Fall off of something? Yesish Did they jump over something, only to find that there was a very long way down on the other side? Interesting idea, but no

Did they fall from a vehicle? No From something else moving? No Did something else fall along with them? Yes Were they trespassing at the moment? Yes Was the second crime linked to the first? FA A result of the first? FA

Second law broken = law of nature? Yes physics? Yes (or is it actually one created by man?) No

First law broken = law created by man? Yes Is the first law they broke the one against trespassing? You mean entering someone's property without permission? If so, the answer is Noish (as what they did probably included trespassing as well but as such it would not bring them to prison or make them die. There was another law I was referring to)

Did they run afoul of the law of: gravity? Conservation of momentum? Thermodynamics? Did something fall over? On top of them? Were they climbing? Were they BASE jumpers? Did they die before they were finished with their first crime?

Did they run afoul of the law of: gravity? Definitely Conservation of momentum? Don't think so; however, take into account I am not a specialist on physics Thermodynamics? No Did something fall over? Yes On top of them? Yes Were they climbing? Yesish Were they BASE jumpers? No Did they die before they were finished with their first crime? Yes

Were they trying to break in? Did they tip something over? On top of themselves? Were they trying to tip it over? Explosives involved? Is the thing that fell on them smaller than a: cat? Microwave? Washing machine? Vending Machine? Car? Truck? House? Was it a vehicle? Part of one? If not, is a vehicle still invovled? Were they trying to steal the object that fell on them?

Were they trying to break in? Yesish Did they tip something over? No On top of themselves? No Were they trying to tip it over? No Explosives involved? No Is the thing that fell on them smaller than a: cat? Microwave? Washing machine? Vending Machine? Car? Truck? House? No to all Was it a vehicle? No Part of one? No If not, is a vehicle still invovled? No Were they trying to steal the object that fell on them? Yesish

Did they bring down a whole building on top of themselves? Yes Or part of it? This would be possible as well Or not building but another structure? Yesish for structure Or is a ship invovled? Airplane? Other vehicle? Construction equipment? No to the rest

Were they trying to steal the building? Steal part of it? Did they remove load bearing parts? Or damage them? Were they stealing material to sell for scrap? Like steel? Were they using tools? Cutting tools? Drilling tools?

Were they trying to steal the building? Steal part of it? This Did they remove load bearing parts? Yes Or damage them? And also this Were they stealing material to sell for scrap? Yes Like steel? Exactly so Were they using tools? Yes Cutting tools? Very likely Drilling tools? Very likely

ah, so they broke in/trespassed (on a construction site? In a finished building?), removed load-bearing steel parts to sell for scrap, ahd had the building collapse on top of them, killing them. They broke the law by stealing, which would've landed them in jail, and broke the laws of physics, which splattered them - thus keeping them out of jail. Is there more to find out here?

ah, so they broke in/trespassed (on a construction site? In a finished building?), This; in fact, in this case, an abandoned warehouse removed load-bearing steel parts to sell for scrap Yes, ahd had the building collapse on top of them, killing them. Yes They broke the law by stealing, which would've landed them in jail, Exactly so and broke the laws of physics, which splattered them - thus keeping them out of jail. Spot on.Is there more to find out here?

No, there isn't, and your summary is so precise I do not even need to publish a

******************SPOILER*********************

The men were, indeed, thieves attempting to steal steel to sell it for scrap. They selected an abandoned factory warehouse and started cutting the steel girders supporting the roof. Obviously, the roof collapsed on them and fatally crushed two of them.

A true story. They even made it to Darwin Awards nomination for 2007.

Thank you all for participating, and kudos to Galfisk for cutting the final beam :-))
